Saponification is a process of cleaving esters into carboxylate salts and alcohols by the action of aqueous alkali.Typically aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions are used. [1] [2] It is an important type of alkaline hydrolysis.
The only hydrates with stable melting points are NaOH·H 2 O (65.10 °C) and NaOH·3.5H 2 O (15.38 °C). The other hydrates, except the metastable ones NaOH·3H 2 O and NaOH·4H 2 O (β) can be crystallized from solutions of the proper composition, as listed above. However, solutions of NaOH can be easily supercooled by many degrees, which ...
Hydrolysis of sucrose yields glucose and fructose. Invertase is a sucrase used industrially for the hydrolysis of sucrose to so-called invert sugar . Lactase is essential for digestive hydrolysis of lactose in milk; many adult humans do not produce lactase and cannot digest the lactose in milk.
Treatment of aromatic nitro compounds with metal hydrides gives good yields of azo compounds. For example, one could use: Lithium aluminium hydride [20] Zinc metal with sodium hydroxide. [19] (Excess zinc will reduce the azo group to a hydrazino compound.)
2 NaOH(aq) + H 2 SO 4 (aq) → Na 2 SO 4 (aq) + 2 H 2 O(l) ΔH = -112.5 kJ (highly exothermic) In the laboratory it can also be synthesized from the reaction between sodium bicarbonate and magnesium sulfate, by precipitating magnesium carbonate. 2 NaHCO 3 + MgSO 4 → Na 2 SO 4 + MgCO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O
Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters.The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols.
Weakly dissociated acids yield sharp thermometric endpoints when titrated with a strong base. For instance, bicarbonate can be unequivocally determined in the company of carbonate by titrating with hydroxyl (Δ 0 H r =-40.9 kJ/mol). Fig. 10. Titration of a mixture of nitric, acetic and phosphoric acid with 2 mol/L NaOH
A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.
